Hello.

On advice from Stefan King I'm forwarding my original message with his

The reason for the 20-30 seconds wait is the Windows workaround for 
stupid AV scanners which lock files. Subversion tries several times to 
access it's own files and finally gives up.

Seems the error message is not very accurate here.

It's not just 'not easy' but impossible to check out that on a windows 
machine.

Sure, there just can't be two files with the same name (differing in 
case doesn't make the names different for windows).

You have to suggest that on the Subversion mailing list. That's not 
TSVN's business but Subversions. Sorry to say that...

That's probably issue #1254, which was originally about ra_dav error
messages.  But it had already accumulated some non-dav errors.  I've
changed its summary to be about any kind of error message now, go
ahead and list this one there.

There is an issue about bad/uninformative error messages.

Could you add this case there?

Thanks!

bye,

Erik.
